Honor the Founding Fathers

July 4th, 1776. America won its Independence from Britain, and a Nation was born. Except for the Earthly Birth of Christ, and the inclusion of Gentiles in God's Plan of Salvation, then July 4th in my opinion is the Greatest Day for all Americans to celebrate.

Freedom has always cost lives of innocent men, women and children not to mention the lives of the Brave Men and Women who are on the Front Lines, fighting for you and I. Freedom taken away a little at a time is seldom noticed by many Americans. Only those doing the taking are aware of future consequences.

Hitler did not take away the rights of the Jews and even those of his own people away overnight. It was a carefully prepared doctrine of Big Government over a Nation of people who were trusting and were afraid to question their leaders. Instill fear over a person or a people and they will not fight back.

Would there be an America if the Founding Fathers of this Great Nation would have coward behind a veil of fear? We all say we love our Country but many of us are afraid to dare stand up for our Rights given to us when the Declaration Of Independence was boldly written and signed by 56 men.

A short history of what happened to some of these men is as follows: Five were captured and tortured by the British before they died. Twelve had their homes ransacked and burned, two lost their sons serving in the Revolutionary War, another had two sons captured , nine of the 56 signers died from wounds or hardships due to the war.

So the question being asked is why do we take our freedom so lightly?

While many of us are out enjoying the day off and cooking outside enjoying our freedom why not take a few moments and Thank God and the men for giving all they had that we might be free 237 years later.
